In the good ol' days of practice you would submit your claims to Medicare receive payment end of story, but now that doesn't even begin the the story, let alone end it. Just because you got paid does not mean that you coded your claim properly, nor does it prove that the care was "medically necessary". Incorrect coding and lack of documented medical necessity are the basis for ever increasing negative post-payment audits. The audits are regularly followed by the inevitable demand for repayment. It has been said that it is not a matter of IF you will be audited, but a matter of WHEN you will be audited. Don't hide in fear of an audit, do it right, do it right now, and tell them to "bring it on" with confidence.
